Australia moved toward crypto tax reporting under the OECD framework, with one update setting a July 2027 start for transaction reporting to the tax office and another draft bill pointing to the first international exchange of crypto tax data in 2028. The two updates place Australia among the jurisdictions adopting CARF and focus on reporting obligations for traders and platforms.
